LONDON --

Buckingham Palace says the queen's husband, Prince Philip, has been taken to a Scottish hospital as "a precautionary measure."

The palace says the 91-year-old Duke of Edinburgh was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. It did not give details of his condition Wednesday.

Philip was hospitalized for five days in June with a bladder infection.
